Need an Critic Please

Post by Koko_Lion »

Right, so... before I slap the topic on another forum more appropriate, I want to see what the folk here thinks.

As two or three members already know, I am changing my business look. This was only to take effect in a couple months but I have decided to do it sooner rather than later.

After endless headaches searching for a name with an available .com or .net domain, I ended up with the following. The name's origin is a little obvious :wink:

I am no Michelangelo or Leonardo de Vinci. So any criticism welcome.

The name is good but as soon as I saw the logo it reminded me of Tiger wheels & tires even though the colors are different. What products will you be selling?

In Afrikaans, that immediately made me think you are from the Tyger area, Cape Town region.
Is that the case?

Crits:
the name: people are stupid and will forever be spelling it "tigertech.net".
the logo: well balanced and good colors, but it is a bit boring and easily forgettable.

Suggestions:
thename: techtiger.com is available
the logo: need more cowbell m8. go to http://www.logopond.com or http://www.logomoose.com for some inspiration. But think of the great memorable brands of the world, they all have something VERY unique. eg. Apple, Mercedes, Nike etc. If you don't like a symbol, then you need to make to logo type special eg. coca cola.

Thanks! Yea, I did see that. Did check often on their site to make sure I didn't make it too alike. I do mostly support and troubleshooting. Trying to push more into other areas like sales, hosting, etc. This is why the new business look. Had a client last week buy about 10 laptops elsewhere because they didn't know they could get the same laptops through me for cheaper. :(

I did try playing around, but my artistic ability only goes so far. I am even thinking of just paying for a graphics consultant to do it for me. Just worried what the going rates for these guys are?

I checked the techtiger.com domain, seems to be registered under some lady in California? That's according to whois.com though. :?

Checked out those sites, pretty awsome. I would never be able to do something like that though. :(

As KK answered. But also I been playing with many combination of names that sound ok together. Then finding there is not .com or .net domain. Eventually had to settle on something. Was becoming a little frustrated! :(

Where in KZN are you from? I could probably get family discount through my cousins graphic design business...

as for the name, I'm sure all of us can come up with a good, catchy name for the business!

Oh, of course, silly me. I've just never met her and therefore had no idea. :?

Well Tyger is unique I guess, but as someone else stated, since it's kind of plain, you need not only a name but also a logo. Or a mascot. (So either have your girlfriend pose or stick a tiger in there. Alternatively slap some tiger stripes on the name itself.)

Wow Greywolf! Thats really awsome! How did you get the text to change colour like that in the first example? I tried doing the exact same thing with the claw symbol. Obviously I had no luck.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

You could perhaps use a combination of 1 and 3. 3 is more business like and would look great on letterheads and such. The other would look great on your car.
